***mmeu p shootout moves to north oakland elks lodge***

[T.S.Davis]

I like the sound of that. To that end we just need to not embarrass ourselves at this gig and we may have a killer site for years to come. I've been spending some time with the Elks guys. Painting and some building maintenance stuff. Best I can tell they're just as goofy as we are so I'm pretty optimistic for the future here. These guys aren't just allowing us to use their pond. They're helping us along. Last week they treated for weeds just to be sure. That's one of three treatments before our race.

Don't get me wong. Still work to do to make this a premier site but the potential is beyond any site I've worked on.

Steve, grab a tent, pile the boys into the car and come play with us next month. For that matter, I probably have an extra tent.

Hotels Nearby?????

[T.S.Davis]

John, you were missed at the Lights.

Here's what I came up with for hotels.

Closest motel (11 miles)
$65 starting
www.spartanmotel.com

Next closest (12 miles)
Is also the most expensive
$189 starting

https://www.royalparkhotel.com

Midpriced (15 miles)
$90 starting

https://www.concordeinn.com

Budget hotel (15 miles)

https://www.redroof.com

$52 starting
The Redroof you would be looking for is 2580 Crooks Road, Rochester Hills, MI

You can also do your own search on Google if you would prefer. The lodge address is 3100 Pond Road, Leonard, MI. I suspect there are closer hotels maybe in Lake Orion but the hotels above are a pretty straight shot from the lodge to the hotel.

Thanks for the info Terry, looking forward to the race....

I was informed by the wifey that I was told long ago, and apparently I knew but forgot, (and pleading ignorance didn't seem to work either) that my inlaws were down this weekend...so the Northernlights Race was cancelled for me....sucks as the weather was great! But your dates have been approved and marked on the calander.

[Doby]

Got a list of attendees yet?

[T.S.Davis]

Nope just you. haha Still bugg'n the cheese eaters. Those guys are a lot of fun too. Sounded like Jack and Brian were coming from across the border too.

Our P shootout race was typically a little bit smaller. Trying to make it a big ole race on such short notice is tough with guys having planned out their whole summers already..........or should I say with their wives having planned out there whole summer already. So we're expecting mid 20's this time around. Next year we're hoping to go all fat and nasty like old times.

We're going to use the registration site that the Northern Lights guys used. I really liked that. Makes transfering to our software a snap too. Fred likes that. We'll have that up shortly. I'm concerned about some of the big boat classes. Might not be enough to make them go. Have to see how that pans out. Think Jay Moffet would come down?

[T.S.Davis]

I should have said. Our whole gang should be there. That's a good sized sampling on it's own. We've been emphatic with everyone that we need total club participation.

John, that's awsome. Wish I could get to CA this weekend to play with you guys. Need to pressure that Jay Moffet character. He owns some man boats too.

Get yourselves signed in there as soon as you can manage it.

[Doby]

Hey, can I run my old SV 27 with a new AQ 1800Kv motor in your clubs SV class??

[Doby]

I'll be signing up next week after I see how many boats are still left running after this weekend's race.

[T.S.Davis]

Just bring em. We'll fix them when you get here.
